NovelEnglishChapter 907 Autumn Tax Exemptionhistorical
Mu Rongzhe first stood up with his family.
The rest of the people saw that he was moving, so they dared to stand up.
Liu's mood finally improved. Fortunately, they insisted on letting Murong Qing go to work in Murong Zhe's field, otherwise their family's ten acres of land would not be exempt from the autumn tax.
Murong Lingran suddenly thought of something, and suddenly asked, "Father-in-law, most of my family's fields are in my name, so can the fields and small barren mountains in my name be exempted from the annual autumn tax?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMost of her fields are not planted with grain. There are two ways to pay the autumn tax in Xuanqing Kingdom. One is to pay the grain, and the other is to pay the silver directly.
Her grandfather is now an official, and he has 100 mu of land without paying taxes, but apart from the 100 mu he was rewarded, he has only 5 mu of land under his name, and the rest is under her name.
Although she doesn't mind paying taxes, she can afford it, and is willing to contribute to the taxation of the imperial court. The emperor has just rewarded her with gold, and she has no shortage of silver.
But people who work in her family can be exempted from taxation. She, the employer who provides seeds for planting, is not exempted from taxation. It always feels a little strange.
Eunuch De thought of what His Majesty said before he left, His Majesty was really clever, and he actually guessed what the girl was going to ask, and coughed lightly: "Don't worry, girl, although your family has already received a lot of awards, the villagers are exempt from tax. Now, it is impossible for your family to be exempted, so His Majesty said that the autumn tax on your land can also be exempted this year, but the land in your name will continue to be taxed next year."
Murong nodded: "I'm satisfied to be exempted for a year, so thank you, Your Majesty."
Eunuch De nodded and said sternly: "Before our family came, His Majesty asked our family to inform you that he has ordered the Ministry of Punishment to re-investigate the case four years ago, and please rest assured, Lord Murong, as long as things progress, the people of the Ministry of Punishment will be the first. Time to inform the adults."
Murong Zhe said gratefully, "Thank you father-in-law for letting me know."
Eunuch De said again: "Your Majesty also said that the autumn tax will be collected immediately after the autumn harvest, and asked the Murong family to provide two job lists now, one for Li Zheng to facilitate him to do tax work, and one for our family to bring back to hand over to him. Ministry of Accounts for verification.”
Murong Zhe nodded: "Father-in-law, please come in there, there are so many people, the list may take some time."
Eunuch De looked at the door of Murong's house, and then looked at the villagers outside, although he knew that they didn't have the courage to cheat, he still shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's cool outside, our house will wait outside. "
Murong Zong brought his two younger brothers and the Confucius brothers hurriedly out of the house to remove the four treasures of the study and the chair, and asked Eunuch De and Zeyuan to sit down and wait.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEunuch De was getting old and tired after standing for a while, so he did not refuse and sat down directly.
As for Zeyuan, he was used to it, so he refused.
Kong Hongzhuo and Tong Xiuming were not there, so the Murong family asked Li Zheng to write.
As soon as he picked up the pen, Murong Lingran reached into his satchel, took out a list, and handed it to Lizheng.
Li was understanding what she meant, who had who in which household, what was his name, whether the household was divided, and how much land he had, so he took over and began to calculate who was attached to the tax exemption conditions based on the name.
Xiao Manan also went in just now to make a cup of tea for Eunuch De and Ze Yuan. After Eunuch De took a sip, he looked at Murong and said: "Does the girl still carry the list with her at any time?"
